Alfred North Whitehead
“But some closeness of status, such as the relation of parent to child or the relation of marriage, can produce the love of self-devotion where the potentialities of the loved object are felt passionately as a claim that it find itself in a friendly Universe.”
Alfred North Whitehead, Adventures of Ideas

Gilles Deleuze
“[The dogmatic image of thought]… presupposes codes or axioms which do not result by chance, but which do not have an intrinsic rationality either. It’s just like theology: everything about it is quite rational if you accept sin, the immaculate conception, and the incarnation. Reason is always a region carved out of the irrational — not sheltered from the irrational at all, but traversed by it and only defined by a particular kind of relationship among irrational factors. Underneath all reason lies delirium, and drift.”
Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition

Charlie Kaufman
“From here on, I will submit to great art. It will do with me as it sees fit. I will go where it tells me. I will let it in, let it tear me limb from limb, eradicate me, rebuild me in its own image. I will dwell in it as does a subject in a heavenly kingdom. I will never again attempt to own anything: no film, no person, no idea.”
Charlie Kaufman

Jostein Gaarder
“Mas se o mundo é um número de magia, deve também haver um ilusionista. Espero poder vir a desmascará-lo, mas não é fácil descobrir um truque, quando o ilusionista nem sequer vem ao palco.”
Jostein Gaarder, The Solitaire Mystery

Patricia S. Churchland
“The data indicate that just before the eyes make their next jump (saccade), your nonconscious attention scans the next chunk, selects a meaty word for your center of gaze to light on (a word like murder, not a word like indeed), and guides the eye movement accordingly.”
Patricia S. Churchland, Touching a Nerve: The Self as Brain
